While primarily a water-dwelling monster, the aalpamac can haul itself onto shore with its front claws and does so to attack prey drinking or moving at the water’s edge. While not evil, the aalpamac is a ravenous and territorial creature, ranging over an area of up to a dozen miles in search of fresh meat. Aalpamacs are not picky about what they consume and even attack large boats if sufficiently hungry. They are solitary creatures and tolerate others of their own kind only during mating seasons. \n**Local Legends.** An aalpamac that terrorizes the same lake or river for many years often develops a reputation among the locals of the area, particularly those living along the body of water in question. Inevitably, this gives rise to a number of stories exaggerating the size, ferocity, disposition, or powers of the aalpamac. The stories often give aalpamacs names that highlight their most prominent features or are specific to the area in which they live, such as “Chompo” or “the Heron Lake Monster.” These stories also make the aalpamac the target of adventurers and trophy hunters, most of whom either do not locate the beast or fall victim to it.", "name": "Aalpamac", "size": "Huge", "type": "Monstrosity", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "unaligned", "armor_class": 16, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 136, "hit_dice": "13d12+52", "speed": { "walk": 15, "swim": 50 }, "strength": 21, "dexterity": 10, "constitution": 19, "intelligence": 2, "wisdom": 16, "charisma": 10, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": 7, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": 6, "skills": { "perception": 6 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "cold", "damage_immunities": "", "condition_immunities": "", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 16", "languages": "—", "challenge_rating": "7", "cr": 7.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The aalpamac makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws." }, { "name": "Bite", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

They have misshapen torsos and short, bandy legs. Their most notable feature, though, is their four arms, which always wield woodworking tools. \n**Vengeance Seekers.** Chatterlomes prey on scorned lovers, offering violent revenge for those who have been wronged. When a person calls upon the chatterlome, they soon receive an intricately carved oaken box with an obsidian inlay of a humanoid heart. Upon touching the box, the supplicant immediately knows that the box must be delivered to the home of the person who wronged the supplicant. When the victim opens the box, the chatterlome springs forth, claiming the heart of the victim and fulfilling the supplicant’s request. Whether or not the box is opened, a chatterlome whose box has been delivered knows the location of the victim and tracks the person relentlessly. After the victim dies, the supplicant must then deliver the chatterlome’s box to nine more victims or forfeit their own life. A string of deaths occurring shortly after victims received mysterious boxes is a sure sign that a chatterlome is in the area. \n**Box Devils.** Chatterlomes are often called “box devils” due to their peculiar ability to magically travel between boxes and other enclosed, wooden objects. Though chatterlomes can travel between boxes, each chatterlome has its original box, created when it was summoned by a supplicant who was scorned.

This instability might be caused by a regional anomaly, war between the gods themselves, magical upheaval, or some other calamity. Thousands of radiant sparks are created at once in massive conflagrations of radiant energy. They are then left to wander the planes alone. These creatures are most often found in the border lands between planes, but they have been known to appear in the Material Plane after accessing it through magical portals. They seldom wander back to their planes of origin and are almost always destroyed at some point during their eternal wanderings. \n**Hunger for Magic.** Radiant spark swarms are drawn to magic for reasons that aren’t fully understood, for they can neither use it, nor do they truly devour it. Instead, when they sense powerful magic nearby, they instinctually move toward it, as though its very presence is comforting to them. As creatures that are neither particularly intelligent nor evil, their interest in the living usually has to do with the magic spellcasters carry, which draws the sparks close. Unfortunately, the owner of the magic that drew them is often caught in the midst of the swarm, which is inherently harmful. \n**Elemental Nature.** A radiant spark swarm doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Radiant Spark Swarm", "size": "Medium", "type": "Elemental", "subtype": "Swarm", "group": null, "alignment": "neutral", "armor_class": 16, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 38, "hit_dice": "7d8+7", "speed": { "hover": true, "walk": 0, "fly": 60 }, "strength": 8, "dexterity": 17, "constitution": 12, "intelligence": 2, "wisdom": 13, "charisma": 15, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": {}, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, slashing", "damage_immunities": "fire, poison, radiant", "condition_immunities": "charmed, exhaustion, frightened, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, stunned, unconscious", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 11", "languages": "—", "challenge_rating": "3", "cr": 3.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Radiant Sparks", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space.
